Capítulo 28: Chapter 28: Daydreaming
Jenny has been to CAA several times since signing the contract, most of them to sign the contract. She has also met several big stars, and once passed by Leonardo, but she didn't get the other party's attention - on the one hand, she is relatively small, and on the other hand, Jenny can almost be described as raunchy when she goes to CAA several times, without makeup, and her temperament is not very domineering, for these showbiz people who are commonplace with beautiful women, she is not too conspicuous.
This visit was similar, she was going to the Universal theater in the afternoon, so she didn't wear makeup at all, and she wore a T-shirt and jeans that were easy to take off. Cesare was still on a conference call when she passed, and her assistant, Nora, brought her a glass of water and said curiously, "You don't seem to have put on any makeup except for the first time you came to see Cesa, can you ask why?"
Jenny smiled, "Why do you think that?"
"I don't know. Nala shook her head, "But I know Cesare must have a high regard for you, and when Jennifer was on our floor, the other Jennifer used to get her a personal costume artist and makeup artist every time she came to the Chesa. "
Let's put it this way, Chen Zhen used to be a wealthy young woman, her main job is to roll in the women's pile, and socialize in a group of idle wealthy young women who can only compare with each other... Therefore, Chen Zhen can be said to have a lot of experience in this kind of office politics, and as long as she adapts her previous experience a little, she can handle it easily. She smiled, ignoring Nala's words, and just replied lightly, "Really?"
Nala's original intention should have been to tell Chen Zhen that she was more valued by Cesare than Jennifer Bell, so Cesare could tolerate her raunchyness. Of course, this is a compliment, but the reason why Chen Zhen didn't answer was because she didn't want to anger Jennifer Bell too quickly, Nala had been serving here for at least two or three years, and before her, every time Jennifer Bell appeared at CAA, she was in charge of reception, and she and Bell were naturally familiar with her. If she says something disparaging about Bell today, Nala turns around and meets Bell's henchman, and the two gossip a little bit and ask Jennifer Bell what she thinks?
Of course, she also knew that sooner or later a conflict would erupt between her and Bale—the words Cesare and Lillian had made that day when they explained the name change, and Jeanne believed only three percent, which may have been one of Cesare's considerations, but it could never have been the main reason. Of course, she didn't know Cesare very well, and Jeanne just instinctively thought, 'You Jennifer Bell betrayed me, okay, then I'll pick up another Jennifer and stomp you down,' and Cesare definitely did it."
But this conflict can be put off a little bit, at least not now, when she doesn't have a little foundation. For the same reason, what happened on the set yesterday, Jenny was also going to dilute it, digest it herself, and wouldn't tell anyone. In any industry, newcomers are inevitably angry, and Hollywood is certainly no different.
She didn't give back enthusiastically, of course Nala didn't say much, she went back to business, Jenny took the magazine and read it, and after a while, Nala answered a short phone call, and then said to Jenny. "You can go in. "
Although she had just hit a soft nail, her smile was still friendly. Jenny gave her an official smile and pushed the door into the office.
"Sit. Cesare was still reading a script, he didn't look up, and he still used the short 'Sit'.
Jenny sat down in her old seat and looked at her watch, she waited a minute or so, and then she said, "You know, my time is also precious. "
Cesare looked up - as always, he was as handsome and neat as ever, with meticulous grooming.
He folded the page of the script and set it aside, "I'm sorry, it's a wonderful script, I was fascinated by it." "
Without waiting for Jenny to reply, he opened the drawer, pulled out a few thick folders and handed them to Jenny, "This is the material for Chicago, you should read it by Saturday, and it is best to memorize it." Here's a compilation of some of Broadway's most well-known musicals and miscellaneous common sense in recent years, and I don't want Rob to talk at dinner on Saturday and you can't pick it up. "
Jenny picked up the two folders, then opened the third folder and looked at it, "This is—"
"Inside footage of Chicago. Cesare was talking about the musical version. "You know it hasn't released an official video disc, and it took me a bit of favors to get it, so don't waste it. "
"Wow. Jenny glared at the three folders and then at Cesare, "Looks like you really want me to play the musical Loxie?"
Cesare looked at her, "Do you think I'm the kind of daydreamer?"
He would always be in absolute control of the meeting, and without waiting for Jenny to respond, he jumped to the next question, "Tell me you have clothes that fit Mastro's grade, not the so-called evening dress that was transformed from a T-shirt that day." "
Jenny thought about her wardrobe for a moment and shook her head regretfully - there is a reason why she has always dressed modestly, and the original Jenny left her the greatest legacy: beautiful clothes and shoes, because she lost weight successfully, the size has become smaller, and almost all intimate clothes can no longer be worn. Especially for small dresses, it is very important whether it fits or not, so she really doesn't have ready-made good clothes.
"Lillian will accompany you to go shopping once in a few days. Cesare wasn't surprised, "Now let's talk about Rob and tell me what you did on set to make Rob appreciate you so much on day one?"
Every time Jenny met him, she had to suppress her thoughts about what she was doing with Cesare, not because she hated him, but because Cesare was absolutely in control of the rhythm of the conversation, she was very uncomfortable.
She carefully told Cesare about her day on the set, and Cesare listened to and read the script, but as Jeanne finished speaking, he closed the script and went on for a moment, "Very well, now I understand - you are in luck, Renee and Catherine have fulfilled you in some way." "
"You mean?" Jenny actually had some vague speculation in her mind, "Rob's jerkiness annoyed some people?"
"You have to know that he has never made a film before, and Annie [Rob Marshall's first TV series] is very bright and has won some awards, but he is not the only director, many people say that they gave him the title of director only because he wanted it, and the stage is inseparable from his design. Cesare said. "Rob is a highly talented director, a renowned choreographer, but it is undeniable that he has received far less recognition for directing than for choreography. It's his first time on the big screen, and with the technical details and Rob being a perfectionist, it's easy to imagine that yesterday's three-hour event wouldn't be the first time it happened. And Renee, Catherine, and Richard are all well-known actors who work with famous directors, and if they fall into the hands of new directors, there will definitely be a run-in period. "
He took a sip of water, "According to my sources on the set, the three leading actors are very professional and have not openly rebelled against the authority of the director, but there must be some flaws in their attitudes." And Rob is a very controlling person, you know, of course, such a person has a lot of self-esteem. "
Jenny has fully understood. "To put it bluntly, he is indeed not so perfect, has made a lot of low-level mistakes, and is so nervous that he can't tolerate others to say it. Although no one else yelled, it was inevitable that he looked down on him a little bit, Rob felt this, and the psychological pressure was also very great, and he needed affirmation, praise and unconditional support, and I happened to be the lucky one who did the right thing at the right time, right?"
Cesare smiled, "Knowing that, you know how to keep it up." Rob is a major technical authority on Broadway in recent years, and it will mean a lot to you whether you can have his support. "
"Do you mean musicals?" said Jenny, who finally found an opportunity to speak. By the way, I think you're crazy about that — but putting that aside, what I don't understand is why you suddenly want me to compete in a Broadway musical, which you know is half a year to say the least, I'm going to leave Hollywood for half a year and go to New York to do a musical? "
"Jennifer. Cesare said calmly, as if Jeanne's question was all he expected.
Jenny interrupted him angrily, "Jenny, please, it's either Jefferson or Jenny, don't call me that fake name." "
"OK, Jefferson. Cesare changed her words in a kind way, but the words she chose did not please Jenny. "Do you remember what we said on the night we signed?
"... I want to believe in you. Jenny recited reluctantly.
"So what are you doing now?" asked Cesare.
"... Fine," Jenny rolled her eyes visibly, "I don't ask, OK, you ask me to do a musical, I'll do it." So let's go back to the previous question -- are you crazy? Do you know how fierce the competition is on Broadway? How popular is "Chicago"? On Off-Broadway and Off-Broadway, I don't know how many actors who want to squeeze into Broadway to act in commercial dramas, and their professional backgrounds must be better than mine? I mean, even they don't dare to think about the number one actress in "Chicago", what am I? How can I get my turn?"
"Why not you?" Cesare asked rhetorically, his hands resting on the table and leaning forward slightly, feeling even more oppressive to Jenny. "Rob has complimented you on your singing voice, you've had professional training in the last few months, you've got a month to take classes after 'Chicago', you're already good at dancing, you've got acting, you're beautiful, you've got big screen experience. Why not you?"
Jenny was speechless.
Cesaré relaxed, leaned back in his chair, and said slowly, "Of course, you are not without shortcomings, you are not famous, this is your biggest problem, no matter how good the conditions are, the show will not put you too high in the list." However, we can make up for this with Rob's recommendation, remember this, how enthusiastic Rob's recommendation is, how small your shortcomings are. You've already surprised me once—and this time the opportunity to dine with Rob was more or less your own, and I hope you'll continue to surprise me and get more appreciation from Rob than I expected. "
He stared at Jenny, "Will you let me down?"
Jenny couldn't help but smile sarcastically under his weight, "Have I ever let you down?"
The corners of Cesare's lips curled up and another business smile furled, "Then keep it up." "
Jenny's response was to sweep the folder straight into her bag, stand up and stride out of the office.
She didn't say goodbye, which was rude, but she knew Cesare wouldn't care.
- or maybe he cares, whatever, she doesn't care anyway.

Before going to the set, Jenny went home once, put the materials away, and her bag would be on the trailer during the shoot, she didn't want to make any coincidence and let the crew know that she was interested in competing for the lead actress in the "Chicago" musical.
This afternoon is a part of Kitty coming home from a party, finding that her lover is stealing joy and killing people in anger, there are about 4-5 sets of shots, it is Kitty's one-man show, the actors are all her, plus three 'adulterers and adulteresses', there is nothing to say about the specific filming process. Although Jenny had already prepared in the show house many times and was confident that her performance was absolutely flawless, Rob continued to make low-level mistakes and filmed for an afternoon.
Fortunately, Kitty's role is actually not very difficult, and Jenny doesn't need empathy assistance, because Kitty and Huanita's styles are still relatively similar, after so many simulations that make people want to vomit, she doesn't say that she has a complete grasp of this performance style, but she is also familiar with it, just like an instinctive reaction, a little adjustment in the heart, you can adjust this specific state, from head to toe, all micro-expressions, small movements are immediately changed style, this should also be regarded as the progress of Chen Zhen's own acting skills.
Speaking of which, she herself has also divided several of her acting states into categories: the first is the most simple to read the script, without simulation and empathy, and directly perform, this is the most jerky performance, and the approximate score can only be said to be passable.
The second is in the performing arts space, through empathy performances, emotions are not even controlled, and the lines are as if they were read out by themselves. This can no longer be said to be an experiential school, it should be a method school, that is, a branch of the experiential school, which completely regards itself as a character in the play, and has a bit of a split personality. Such a score can be scored to 80 points, and the reason why it is not a perfect score is because the method of a good actor is also a method school that has been restrained and adjusted, and it is a 'real person suitable for shooting', but Jenny's simulation, the simulation is directly a real person, and there are many details that still need to be retouched and changed.
The third is that after the empathy is adjusted in the performing arts space, it is performed in reality through the afterglow, because there are empathy points, but it is only the aftertaste, and the self-control space is larger, so it is a better fusion of experience and method, and the score should be around 85 points. This is how she acted in "CSI" before, so there will be sayings on the Internet that 'her style completely overshadows the TV series' and 'her acting skills belong to the big screen'.
The fourth is that after many empathy exercises in the performing arts space, the mastery of the role has been mastered, and then the performance without a golden finger in reality is equivalent to repeating the previous practice results, which can be regarded as a fusion of experience and performance, the score should be around 80 points according to Chen Zhen's own evaluation, if the role is not so complex and the scene is relatively simple, it can reach 85 points.
She plays Kitty is this acting, which has the factor of wanting to reduce her dependence on the golden finger, and the reason why Rob has reworked too many times, Chen Zhen has found that empathy in a short period of time too many times will cause headaches, according to Rob's style of repeated shooting for three hours with a simple shot, she has always empathized that she will go crazy, so she also adopted the fourth type half-pushed and half-on-place.
The effect should be good, Rob has no opinion on her acting skills, he is entangled in very detailed things, such as light and shadow, composition and so on. That is, some details that new directors often can't get accurate. All Jenny had to do was repeat, repeat, and repeat all afternoon, like a rewind machine, and repeat it like crazy.
Therefore, actors are not only technical work, but also physical work. Even if it is a big star with amazing talent, the filming process is not the same as many people think, just pass one, and then everyone will take the next shot. The real peak actors are all continuous stable and high-output streams, this period of your first acting effect is not a good thing, the hundredth acting effect on the same day must be as good as the first time, is the real bull.
After filming in the afternoon, she went home so tired that she fell asleep directly, and only got up in the middle of the night to take a shower. Then she was fine for the next two days, and on the third day she went to shoot a scene where 'Kitty' was arrested and imprisoned — scolding the reporter — struggling, and then it was considered a day of work. After Rob revised the script, the role of 'Kitty' was reduced to the ones that Chen Zhen had seen in the finished film, and the previous song and dance, including those scenes that showed Kitty's limelight, were cut. The role of the character fell to about a minute or two, and in the casual quip of the warden's 'Mom' actor, "If I had known that this was the case, there might have been only half as many actors as many as half of the actors who came to audition, at least Lucy Liu wouldn't have come." "
Lucy is now on the crew for "Kill Bill," and she has occasional contact with Jenny — who of course has made some friends on the crew, including the actor of Velma in the musical "Chicago," who plays one of the six female prisoners in the movie.
However, she did not interact with Renee and Catherine during the whole process, and because she did not play against each other, she did not have a chance to contact, although she had the opportunity to meet during the meal, Jenny would not go over to introduce herself at a dead end. Except for the first day, Renee's manager, Veronica, didn't look for trouble, and after being tossed by the perfectionist Rob for the last time, Jenny ended her filming in "Chicago" and left the crew.
For the next few days, she didn't have any classes, and the only thing she had to do was dinner on Saturday with Rob Marshall.
The author has something to say:
Note: Off-Broadway and Off-Broadway are both showcases with unclear commercial value and more avant-garde nature, while Broadway shows mature plays such as "Cats", "Yoshiya for Rental", "Mamma Mia" and so on. Actors on Broadway and Broadway are poorly paid, sometimes unpaid. Broadway stars earn relatively good incomes. Broadway is the center of American theater, the world's theater destination, and the other resort should be the West End of London.
Then the expressive school and the experiential school have been introduced before, and the method school is simply that Jenny goes to play a thief, and she completely treats herself as a thief during the filming time, and she is ... when she is in and out of the play This is a branch of the experiential school, and you can Baidu for specific content.
